Chrisnah Shely Perez has it all—a loving family, a close-knit group of friends, and a life of privilege. Despite her perfect world, she's never been spoiled; instead, she's kind-hearted, beautiful, and true to herself. Chrisnah is a lesbian, content with her circle of friends, and has no interest in romantic relationships. But her peaceful world is turned upside down when she meets Michael Gabriel Dela Fuente, a charming and bubbly new student who is, unexpectedly, a gay guy. 

Michael’s difficult upbringing couldn’t be more different from Chrisnah’s. Raised by a single father after being abandoned by his mother, Michael’s life has been a struggle. Yet, he’s determined to rise above his past. Even though he's confident in his identity as a gay man, his encounters with Chrisnah start to stir something in him—something that challenges both of them.

As they grow closer, their bond deepens into an unexpected romance that defies expectations and social norms. But just when it seems like they’ve conquered every obstacle, fate throws them a devastating curveball. Michael has been secretly battling a congenital heart disease his entire life, and now, his health is rapidly deteriorating. Chrisnah clings to hope, pushing Michael towards a life-saving heart transplant. 

But will love and faith be enough to overcome this ultimate test? Can Chrisnah share the life-changing news she’s been holding back, or is it already too late for their happily ever after?

She's He. He's She.

I linger in the hallway, quietly observing the scene in front of me. My twin brother, Michael, is laughing with Chrisnah, their conversation filled with easy banter. From where I stand, I can see every bit of their happiness, but what stands out the most is Michael’s smile—bigger and more genuine than I’ve seen in a long time. 


I lean against the cold wall, the memory of a conversation I overheard slipping back into my mind. That night when Michael came home late and quietly spoke to Dad in the dark kitchen. I hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but once I heard Chrisnah’s name, I couldn’t stop myself. 


Michael, my brother—the brother I thought I knew inside and out—confessed something I never expected. He’s in love with Chrisnah. Not just infatuated, not just attracted, but deeply, completely in love.
